In our current version of MPW (vers 3.0) we try to write output
to standard IO (such as using the writeln command in pascal).  However,
this version does not support standard IO and displays our output on
a dialog box that informs us that the console is not supported.

This is a major problem for us.  We are teaching a beginning asembly
language class here and we can not teach all of the in and outs of
Mac programming.  What is even more of a problem is that printing to the
console was supported in version 2.0!

Has anyone out there had the same problem?  Were you able to solve it?
Currently, we are considering going back to version 2.0 to solve this
problem.  Needless to say we would rather not be working backwards!
